Product description

Boris's 04092001 is a sonic behemoth that crashes onto the scene, unleashing a maelstrom of sound that defies genre boundaries. Released on 11 February 2005 via Relapse Records, this 32-minute aural assault is a masterclass in blending disparate styles, marrying the heavy, plodding riffs of sludge metal and doom metal with the swirling textures of shoegaze and the atmospheric expanses of post-rock.

As the album unfolds, Boris's unique blend of noise rock and stoner rock comes to the fore, with tracks like 'heavy friends' and 'death valley' showcasing the band's ability to craft crushing, fuzz-laden grooves that are as mesmerising as they are devastating. Meanwhile, more experimental cuts like 'encounter with the inside of the wavemotion of great water fuzz' and 'dyna-soar' demonstrate Boris's willingness to push the boundaries of conventional rock music, incorporating elements of drone and noise to create a truly immersive listening experience.

Throughout 04092001, Boris's eclectic sound is held together by a shared sense of intensity and sonic exploration, making for an album that is at once challenging and rewarding. With its diverse range of influences and uncompromising approach, 04092001 is a must-listen for fans of heavy, experimental music, and a testament to Boris's status as one of the most innovative and exciting bands in the underground scene.

This 2023 Limited Edition Reissue LP is pressed on Silver, Black, Black vinyl.

Droney, Devastating, Extra Large
4 out of 5 stars

Time slipped by, and I just wanted to offload this item, which was somehow delivered perfectly - too heavy, too Boris, too something else, I thought. I'm so glad I didn't do that and would recommend this to anyone right now. Boris can be droney but not always; Merzbow can be droney but usually not entirely; this meeting of minds is droney (but far from totally) and utterly devastating. Over the guitar-vs.-stack clash, strange noises like bird cages being slammed (probably opened given Masami's feelings, but it sounds like being shut, and forever), leading into full "jams" which at points are almost reminiscent of acts like Golden Earring or Hawkwind or whatever, even at moments sounding like a bad tape recording of String Cheese Incident. A slash of an open hand across ringing open strings into a brutal death rhythm followed and betrayed directly by a riff but fallen immediately again. Obscure vocals that might as well be sandpaper on a contact mic. Big something, big metal or thrash or noise to most likely, big something, whatever. XL: Extra Large.

This is certainly lofi, it's fantastic if you're into heavy rocks 1 and wanna listen to some awesome live versions of tracks with wild noise thrown in by merzbow. If Boris ain't really your thing, this might not be your cup of tea. The pressing sounds great and I didn't have any issues with it.
